No Fee for Surppressors or short barrell rifles

Who is Byrd? I'm guessing a senator and democrat, but what state? Like I said I'm guessing and could be completely wrong


A real class act.

In December 1944, Byrd wrote to segregationist Mississippi Senator Theodore G. Bilbo:

I shall never fight in the armed forces with a negro by my side ... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.
— Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1944[16][35]

I just had something dawn on me.

Everyone is thinking that the registration requirements have to be removed from the NFA by Congress.

But what if it doesn't?

What if President Trump comes out and issues an EO waiving all registration requirements? People will say, "he can't do that", but I would argue that it's possible on the following grounds.

The NFA was set up as a way to track tax payments for specific items. Now that those taxes are gone it creates a Catch 22 for the government. Firearms registries are by current law expressly forbidden by statutory law. The elimination of the tax puts the government in a position where it is violating something regardless of what it does. If they do nothing about the situation the government would be forced into doing something clearly illegal on several levels.

Then of course you would have the left howling and they would immediately sue over his "illegal" EO. Which that of course would get fast tracked in the legal world. But regardless, the argument would be sound because the changes now create a situation that can't be remedied in any other way. Basically "because of the changes the government would be forced to commit felonies against millions of Americans" if we don't do something different.
The tax has not been removed. The statement is that the tax is $0, not that there is no tax.

I was in the final bill its been confirmed, I just read the story on fox news feed
Fox News is not a legislative analyst. The actual signed law matters, not Rupert Murdoch's sales pitch.

What matters most is implementation, so how ATF/FBI staff review things is the crux. No matter what the new bill/law says. If you don't believe me, either just wait and see, or look into US Forest Service managing land as big W wilderness even though it lacks proper Congressional determination as big W wilderness.

Don’t worry, as soon as the Republicunts get blown out in the midterms, some member of that worthless, useless, feckless, spineless party will inevitably introduce a bill to “get it right this time”.

And yes, now that the NFA is on everyone’s radar, expect the communists to shove it up our asses and break it off when they return to a majority.

$200 in 1934 is about $4800 today. Expect that to be pushed.

You have to be completely retarded to be a gun owner and support these POS’s.

You might cynically start thinking, if this does get implemented, that they intended to axe the fees anyway a few years back, and were hoping to make big fee intake on recently amped-up firearm and suppressor sales.

It's probably a good idea to not look hopefully at things, and just be surprised when they happen. The real problem is what else is in this monstrosity that nobody has read critically before passage. Modern politics is all bait and switch, so if they appease firearms folks with a fee cut, what are they doing elsewhere in the bill that hurts worse than the occasional $200 fee?
 
Sniper’s Hide: “What part of ‘shall not be infringed’ do they not understand? This is bullshit!”

Also Sniper’s Hide: “My new SBR with a can just got out of jail! Check it out guys!”

Actively participating in something you disagree with is my favorite flavor of hypocrisy.

So you are saying that you have no cans nor SBRs then? Do you have a permit to carry a weapon? Have you purchased any weapons legally? A hunting license? Do you own a home and pay real estate taxes?

I’m curious where you draw the line or are you just bloviating?

Probably doesn’t pay his taxes, which means he grows all his own stuff cause he refuses to pay sales tax.

Probably doesn’t even own a gun cause he won’t fill out a 4473

List goes on and on for these fellas probably

Does this set a precedent for registration of non-taxed firearms?

i don't believe so. I think it's a heavier lift to get things INTO the NFA, especially "mundane" things.

It stages multiple possibilities.

The one we want, $0 tax kicks one leg loose from under check, tax and register opening the door for eliminating check and register as maybe unconstitutional. But it wouldn't impact GCA so still NICS and file.

The one we don't want, the curtain has been lifted on how to change the tax so demtards might figure out how to raise the tax. Especially since they already proposed such an amendment to the OBBB but it didn't make the cut.

I have never bought an NFA item.

SBRs and cans for thee but not for me.

Got it.

Do you participate in anything you disagree with? Income taxes, HOAs, carry permits, show ID ... it's a long list but that's the gist.

Curious about how to pursue the lifestyle if you've found a way to make it work.
 
Do you participate in anything you disagree with?
Only life, but I lack the constitution for suicide and I have commitments that I must fulfill that take priority over my preferences.

Regarding all the requirements of living in society that you mentioned, I don’t assign emotional value to them as the ramifications of breaking the rules are greater than the temporary satisfaction of defiance.

I don't believe any of the things I mentioned are "required". They're all voluntary under the right conditions, it's by our choices that they become "required". They can all be avoided with the right lifestyle.

So there are some things you participate in that you disagree with because of the value you derive from your choices of activities and/or possessions which require submission to the realm. These things/activities are important enough that you will compromise your implied integrity to have them.

This is starting to sound like a case of turtles and tails.
 
No a stupid parliamentarian citing the Byrd rule kept it out…. Was a bunch of BS
While I disagree with removing them, the parliamentarian was actually applying the Byrd rule correctly. Had the democrats not challenged the inclusion of the HOA and Short act as written, the parliamentarian wouldn’t be in the conversation.

More than anything else, congress is driven by rules. Like them or not.

Edit:
It’s convenient to ignore or not know about the many times in the past that the parliamentarian has removed things from similar Democratic bills. But it does and has occurred quite often.

Is $0.00 truly still a tax now? Does this $0.00 no fee open other aplicable avenues for challenges? Was NFA approved under Congress taxing power?

You can't swing a dead cat on the internet without hitting an article about it.

Not really. As I stated before, the tax is still there. The tax is $0 but it is still there in the form of a tax. Now that the precedent has been set to alter the previous tax of $200 (explicitly defined in the heinous act) the new $0 tax could real easily become a $10,000 tax. This was no win and will prove to be a real loss in the not distant future.
